Settled in a comfortable armchair...

...in David's bar, you think back to the magic and lights of the Christmas market on the Rathausmarkt, Hamburg's town hall square.

As you sip a steaming tea, and then a traditional mulled wine, you unwind to the sound of the crackling fire before you. Your Hamburg break has just begun. From your comfortable refuge, you look out over the nearby Binnenalster lake, the sights of the city all around.
